AWMAC Promotes Integrity and Ensures Compliance
The Architectural Woodwork Manufacturers Association of Canada (AWMAC) has been advancing the craft and profession of architectural woodworking for decades. Past President of the AWMAC Ontario Chapter, Carlo DeFrancesco, discusses how the organization uses its Architectural Woodwork Quality Standards Illustrated (known as the “QSI”) manual as the benchmark for quality millwork, and why more and more architects are demanding AWMAC’s Guarantee and Inspection Service (G.I.S.) for their architectural millwork projects.
Financing Alternatives for Turbulent Times
As a result of the turmoil created by the sub-prime and asset-backed commercial paper markets in North America, business lending is becoming less of a commodity.
